LONDON: The sentence of TikToker Mehak Bukhari, who was convicted of killing two Pakistani youths to cover up her mother’s affair in the UK, has been reduced.
Pakistani-origin TikToker Mehak Bukhari, who was serving a 31 year prison sentence for killing two Pakistani youths in a high speed chase, had filed a petition in the court for a reduction in her sentence.
Mehak Bukhari has been in prison with her mother Nasreen Bukhari since September 2023.
The TikToker was sentenced to 31 years and 8 months in prison, while her mother was sentenced to 26 years and 9 months.
The court ruled that the judge did not take into account the age and immaturity of the accused while pronouncing the sentence and reduced the term of her sentence to 26 years and 285 days.
It should be recalled that in February 2022, Mehak Bukhari, her mother Nasreen Bukhari and five others were accused of inviting Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin to a parking lot on the pretext of a “final meeting” to settle the matters. But instead the two youths Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain were lured and chased in two vehicles, deliberately ramming them off the road.
Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain, both 21, were killed during the high-speed chase, the two men were forced off the road, where their car exploded in a fiery crash, killing them both
The police, during the murder trial of Mehak Bukhari and her mother Nasreen Bukhari, had told the curt that TikToker Mehak Bukhari’s mother, 45-year-old Nasreen Bukhari, was having an affair with the young man Saqib Hussain.
Later Nasreen wanted to end the relationship but the young man did not want that and was demanding £3,000 he claimed to have spent on her and had threatened to reveal her explicit photos and videos to her husband.
